43 Chapter 43 - Additional Attack (2/2)
No Smile nodded as he observed everyone that had surrounded him. All had a cloth strip covering their faces. The one speaking to him had more than a piece of cloth covering his face, actually. He could tell that the person was this group's leader, given how everything had panned out. Could it be that having more cloth masking one's face indicated seniority with this bunch? No Smile's head was clouded by questions, ranging from the initial ambush and the sword-wielding Mage that broke his invisible state to the Priest wearing three pieces of cloth to mask his identity.
”Do you know who we are?” Young Master Han asked.
No Smile shook his head.
”That's good,” Young Master Han sighed deeply in relief.
”Cut to the chase,” Sword Demon rolled his eyes.
Young Master Han nodded and pointed at No Smile, ”You know of Amethyst Rebirth Guild?”
”That's your guild?” No Smile was taken aback. Everyone would often associate July and him to their past altercation, so he assumed that this person was the same. Hence, he never expected Young Master Han's next words, ”I don't know what bone you have to pick with Amethyst Rebirth, but I have two sisters in that guild. As long as you're looking to give that guild trouble, we will trouble you as well, savvy?”
No Smile did not say a word.
Young Master Han did not force him to answer as he continued in a light tone, ”Today is just a warning. Alright, we've already killed all your comrades. No reason to spare you since we're here for you…” Young Master Han signaled Sword Demon with a gaze; the Thief stepped forward and made a flurry of strikes. No Smile could only watch on in horror as he got cut down.
”Mission complete!” Young Master Han said.
Everyone nodded and suddenly swarmed to restrain Gu Fei. Brother Assist reached out and pulled Gu Fei's black cloth off his face.
”What are you guys doing?!” Gu Fei felt helpless to what was happening. He could not defend himself from something as unexpected as his friends turning on him. The old adage really held some truth: ”Having friends are far scarier than having enemies.”
”It really is Miles!” Royal God Call exclaimed.
”The heck are you all talking about?!” Gu Fei was utterly annoyed.
Young Master Han also removed the three pieces of cloth from his face. He walked up to Gu Fei and pulled his head closer for inspection. Gu Fei wanted to resist, but War Without Wounds was the one tugging him from behind; all he needed was his finger to suppress Gu Fei's effort at struggling free.
Young Master Han inspected Gu Fei's face a little and asked Brother Assist, ”Is there any skill in-game that alters or disguises a player's appearance or something similar to that?”
”I don't think so!” Brother Assist who was always certain of his information network seemed to hesitate a little bit when he spoke. He came forward as well to examine Gu Fei's face.
”Hey, that's enough you guys!” Gu Fei said.
”It really is Miles,” Brother Assist stated.
”I think so too,” Young Master Han concurred.
War Without Wounds let go of Gu Fei, allowing him to put his Chinese broadsword back into his pocket. Everyone began to look at Gu Fei as if he was a monster.
”Miles, did you add stat points to Agility?” Brother Assist asked. This was the first time everyone from the mercenary group, aside from Sword Demon, had had the chance to appreciate Gu Fei's fighting capabilities up close.
Gu Fei nodded his head, ”All the points.”
Everyone looked at each other.
”Your fighting style… How did you come up with it?” Brother Assist asked carefully. He started to suspect that Gu Fei was actually Parallel World's game employee; this would mean that he had a grasp of the game's algorithm that had not been officially disclosed. Brother Assist could only think of this reason as to why Gu Fei had added all his stat points to Agility at the game's early stages.
”I didn't come up with anything new!” Gu Fei then told them of the injustice of him being forced to become a Mage. He naturally expressed his own annoyance with the Mage job class, as well as how much he had looked forward to becoming a Fighter or even a Warrior. Although Royal God Call was not a Mage, he still had a strong adoration toward the class. Gu Fei's outpour of lamentations caused Royal God Call to comment discontentedly, ”F*ck, what's wrong with being a Mage?! It's your sh*t leveling schema that ruined your Mage!”
”Haaaaah…” Gu Fei sighed, ”This is an adult problem that a child like you can't understand.”
Royal God Call flared his nostrils in contempt.
The others, however, were piqued, ”Miles, why're you so in love with the Fighter job class?”
”That's because I am a kung fu practitioner in real life,” Gu Fei said.
